I have installed Linux Suse 8.2 personal Edition
and it is running pretty well.

I just inserted a new firewire card into the machine.
Linux does not seem to be finding it at all.

How do I configure Linux to work with the firewire card?
With Yast? I'm sure that I will need some drivers.
Where do I find those?

Thanks a lot!

I connected the firewire hard drive. Then, I booted.
YAST could see the drive.

I made a directory and mounted to it.

mkdir /firewire1
mount ... /firewire ...

Good luck.
